Dead

At the moment when he heard the answer, Cyclone felt nothing.

This is the fate of an undercover agent.

Nine out of ten would end up like this, nothing surprising.

The old Cyclone didn't know how to plan for himself.

He would listen to a few words of persuasion from Allen Wang and Daniel, then obediently go to Sunset City, showing off as a hero.

But now, things are different. Cyclone will not be naive anymore.

True heroism is refusing to do dangerous things and going home to continue living the ideal life.

He has five wives at home, and soon a child will be born.

As Cyclone, soon to be a father, he would never risk doing something foolish.

"What a pity, little brother Cyclone~"

But faced with the confident smile of the leader, Cyclone's heart instantly turned cold.

"You forgot one thing, besides Allen Wang and Kakarl Wang, there is one more king coming..."

In that instant, Cyclone's heart stopped beating.

The last person Cyclone wants to face now is his brother-in-law, Elyse's brother.

That crazy king, devoted to his sister, even chose to kill Elyse to keep her from falling into another man's hands.

Last time he narrowly escaped danger due to multiple strokes of luck.

But good luck is not guaranteed, if this continues, something will go wrong eventually.

Before the king of dusk arrives, Cyclone must hide Elyse.

However, everything changed along with the leader's words.

If time could turn back, Cyclone wished the leader had never said that sentence.

"By the way~ I've already passed on the information about Elyse by your side to the king of dusk."

The scariest thing about the leader is not his ruthlessness.

It's his ability to calculate everything, controlling everything flawlessly in the palm of his hand.

This feeling of a predetermined future instantly reminded Cyclone of someone, a certain girl.

"That woman..."

Recalling all the conversations from earlier until now, the leader mentioned "that woman."

"The 'that woman' you just mentioned, is it...?"

Cyclone looked into the leader's eyes.

"The prophet Mikoni?"

From the unchanged look in the leader's eyes, Cyclone already knew the answer.

"Now that you know, you should fulfill your mission."

"You're wrong, this is not a mission, just her 'words.'"

"...I will not believe in so-called prophecies. I will rewrite my future with my choices."

"Is that so..."

Compared to Cyclone's excitement, the leader remained calm.

This puzzled Cyclone.

"Why? Why do you believe in her just because of the prophecy she spoke?"

The leader closed his eyes, pondering for a moment.

"Why do I believe in her? The reason is simple..."

When the leader opened his eyes again, Cyclone saw a hint of helplessness in his gaze.

"When you no longer live for yourself, maybe you will understand..."

Without a word, Cyclone stood up, declaring the end of the meeting.

"It's a bit of a shame..."

Even if the king of dusk found out immediately, Cyclone had a choice. This level of threat couldn't intimidate Cyclone.

"But I have to give up on this place, I won't risk my life for this."

The Water Teaching is a place of love and justice, a symbol of peace.

Even in the worst situations, Cyclone believed that the leader and the Four Saints would never resort to force to coerce him.

And it turned out to be true.

"Don't rush~ You can take your time to think it over, but let me remind you..."

Facing away from the leader, Cyclone continued walking, leaving.

"You can also look at it this way, this might be an opportunity for you to make use of us~"

The six-person meeting with Tiny ended.

Ultimately, Cyclone did not agree to the leader's request.

Thinking carefully, since Elyse had joined him, now all he had to do was take her and leave.

Hide with his wives, just like in that unnamed forest, living happily and carefree every day.

Forget about Sonja, leave her in the realm of regrets.

And so, after a long morning, Cyclone finally returned to his office.

Seeing Hilmirya waiting for him, Cyclone breathed a sigh of relief.
